1) <b>Introduce the APMC to the general public</b> as our multi-disciplinary, integrated research & Extension function of UA-CALS that is available for anyone to access its resources.<o:p></o:p></p>

<br>
We are highlighting <b>two books</b> at this event the <b>Handbook on Pests of Community Environments in the Desert Southwest U.S.</b> (Nair et al.) and <b>Natural Enemies of the Southwest: A field guide to the arthropod natural enemies of southwestern field

<p class="MsoNormal">We will be raffling off a chance to win one of these great books to those that participate in our integrated pest management survey. Along with our survey we will be showcasing our “Is it a pest?” activity where attendees get to decide
if the listed organism (bee, sunflower, dandelion, corn smut, etc.) is a pest or not. Please stop by our APMC booth to say “hi”, support your Entomology, Plant Sciences and other APMC colleagues, take our survey, and answer the question of “is it a pest?”!<o:p></o:p></p>
